relapsed, back again.

Hey there everyone, its been awhile.. I was here maybe a year ago and was addicted to methadone was using about 190mg weekly which lasted me two day..I was clean for maybe 9 days and told myself I dont have a problem.. luckily for me my connect got put on dailies. So I may be get 40 mg one day per week.. But my Percocet addiction got that much worse. I foubd myself spending half my check and coming up with execuses to my fiance why where short on bills.. then I made the worse mistake of my life.. stayed at her gmas which she considers her mother and ended up finding her supply and got caught.. ive lost everything for a couple days and said *** it. Took 15 perc 30s in one day, and planned on continuing this. But my fiance decided she would give me another chance... I know my addiction is a problem whether I tell myself its not.. I always found peace at this site, even though I didnt post I always found myself reading the forums.. day 1 begins today, back to square one but im excited for the future

Get something OTC for pain like aspirin.
  Treat yourself as if you are in the hospital. Plan plan plan. It got so bad for me one time I bought surgical tape to tape my legs hard to stop RLS.
  You know what to prepare for. I like bananas. Powered vit c w electrolytes.
Drink tons of water.   I've been on and off too because of surgeries.
It might be an idea to get evaluated by a Pdoc. There's a reason you took so many pills. Get to it's core. Then you'll be successful
  Aftercare. Support buddy. Meeting. Do it all. We're here too.
